Dr. Andrei Shishkin is a senior researcher at the Institute of Physics and Materials Science, Riga Technical University, Latvia. He holds a PhD in materials science (2021), specializing in the development of multifunctional porous materials from industrial waste, particularly glass and clay-based composites. With over a decade of research experience, Dr. Shishkin has led and contributed to numerous national and international R&D projects focused on sustainable materials, circular economy applications, and biomass valorisation. His expertise spans advanced ceramics, syntactic foams, thermal insulation composites, and novel extraction techniques using hydrodynamic cavitation. He has authored over 60 peer-reviewed scientific publications indexed in Scopus (h-index: 17) and holds multiple patents in green construction materials, porous ceramics, and environmental technologies. Dr. Shishkin also serves as an expert evaluator for the European Commission (Horizon 2020), and regularly delivers guest lectures and training across Europe through Erasmus+ and COST Actions. Beyond his academic work, he actively collaborates with industry partners on the valorisation of waste streams, bio-based material development, and eco-innovative technologies. |
To be announced
On the first day of the conference a guided tour of Vilnius Old Town is planned, a UNESCO-listed treasure rich in history, culture, and stunning architecture. As we walk through its charming cobblestone streets, you’ll discover medieval churches, hidden courtyards, and stories that shaped Lithuania’s capital. Our knowledgeable guide will bring the past to life, sharing fascinating legends and historical insights. Get ready to explore one of Europe’s most beautiful and well-preserved old towns!
| JSC "AXIOMA" | Laser Doppler vibrometer and FLIR A6751 MWIR camera |
|
Laser Doppler vibrometry is currently the method that offers the best displacement and velocity resolution and is used in many fields of basic science. It enables femtometer amplitude resolution and is linear and therefore has a consistent amplitude right up to the very high frequency ranges – practically reaching more than 6 GHz at present. These properties are independent of the measuring distance, so this principle is used both in microscopic operations and over very large distances. Light as a sensor does not influence the sample, making it non-invasive and therefore enabling measurements to be carried out on extremely small and extremely lightweight structures. Since this procedure offers such unbeatable properties and various accessories, Polytec has made it robust and fit for most of applications. The FLIR A6751 MWIR camera offers short exposure times and high-speed windowed frame rates, making it an ideal choice for recording rapid thermal events and fast-moving targets. Freeze motion or achieve accurate temperature measurements on moving subjects, and perform a variety of non-destructive testing with this cooled InSb camera. The high IR resolution and high sensitivity produce crisp imagery, well suited to electronics inspections, scientific research, and more. |
